>Universities haven't caught up. Many CS programs still focus on theoretical foundations. Which means that fewer graduates train to deploy Kubernetes clusters, fine-tune large language models, or architect zero-trust security frameworks. Candidates lack the skills for industry-ready AI/cloud roles and many companies report that fresh graduates often need 6-12 months of intensive upskilling. The whole point of your first year of work is that you get upskilled super hard. If you are hiring a fresh grad with the plan that they are a net positive before 8-12 months you are gonna have a horrible time.
